Capcom is pretty much done with Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations. The full English version is already out in Japan and it is coming to America in less than a month. What about Gyakuten Saiban 4? It looks like Capcom is hard at work on it. Screenshots of the first case in German are floating [...]

I got my copy of the third game in the Phoenix Wright series and blasted through the first case. Similar to Infernal Affairs III, Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations jumps between the past and the future of the series. In the first case you play as Mia Fey, Phoenix’s mentor, when she was a rookie [...]

Things are looking up for Capcom this year. Compared with last year their net sales are up 35% and their net income is up nearly 40%. Chalk it up to Gyakuten Saiban 4’s success. Over half a million copies were sold in Japan, which makes it the best selling game in the Ace Attorney series. [...]

The_importer sent us a tip (thanks!!) that Play-Asia is starting to take reservations for Gyakuten Saiban 3 (Best Price), probably better known as Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations outside of Japan. Like Capcom’s other Phoenix Wright best price releases, Gyakuten Saiban 3 has a full English option and you can be the envy of US [...]

  Last month Capcom announced that third Phoenix Wright game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations, is in development for North America. The Nintendo DS port isn’t limited to America, Japan is getting it too with a bonus. Like the other Best Price Gyakuten Saiban games Gyakuten Saiban 3 has the full English translation [...]

Anticipation was high among fans for the fourth installment of the Phoenix Wright (Gyakuten Saiban) series which was announced for the DS. The long wait is finally over and unlike the DS re-releases of the first two games, there is no English language option.  This might be unfortunate for some fans since the game is [...]

Capcom announced that Phoenix Wright 4 (aka Gyakuten Saiban 4) already sold over 500,000 copies since the game was released on April 12 in Japan. Worldwide shipments of the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney series have tallied to 2,000,000 copies. Considering the fan base established by the first three GBA games and their subsequent re-releases on [...]

I know Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trial and Tribulations is coming out in September, but the law game that has my eye this year is Capcom’s Harvey Birdman title. Capcom announced the title at their 2007 Gamers day and a few more details about the game are trickling in. It’s being pegged as an “interactive [...]

Capcom released this trailer of the third game in the Ace Attorney series and the “twist” in the first case is you play as Mia Fey. In Trails and Tribulations you temporarily step into the shoes of Phoenix’s mentor when she was a rookie attorney to defend Phoenix.   [youtube]W0_yDgwibZs[/youtube] 

Shortly after a listing appeared in an GameCrazy computer Capcom announces that they are continuing the Phoenix Wright series with the third game set to come out for the Nintendo DS in September 2007. In Trials and Tribulations players step in to Phoenix Wright’s shoes again and face a new prosecutor Godot and once again [...]

Are you bummed by the semi-fact that Gyakuten Saiban 4 may not be released here in the U.S.? Does it bother you that Gyakuten Saiban 3, a GBA exclusive title release only in Japan, never made it to U.S. shores either? Do you love being the lawyer in court simulation games because you enjoy arguing? [...]

4 color rebellion pointed us to a link to the Court Records forums where an additional entry in the Phoenix Wright series was discovered in the Gamecrazy system. It’s entitled "Phoenix Wright – Trials Tribu", which is speculated to be Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations. Capcom hasn’t made any announcements about Phoenix Wright’s third game [...]

It’s a new arc in Capcom’s Ace Attorney series with a new lawyer and a whole new cast of characters. The first character you see in the trailer is Odoroki, the lawyer you play in Gyakuten Saiban 4. Instead of having psychic help from the Fey family Odoroki has a bracelet which he uses to [...]

The_importer sends us a note (thanks!) that Play-Asia updated their Gyakuten Saiban 4 product page with the words “Japanese language support ONLY” in bold. Previous Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney series) games have had an English language option and perhaps importers were expecting (hoping?) that Gyakuten Saiban 4 was going to include one too. While disappointing [...]

  Remember the junior scientist in the fifth Phoenix Wright, DS only episode “Rise from the Ashes”? In Gyakuten Saiban 4 Akane (aka Ema Skye) is all grown up and she is going to help Odoroki gather clues for his court cases. She gives him a tool kit that lets him make footprint molds with [...]

Capcom has a clever way to get people to try out Gyakuten Saiban 4. Instead of using DS download stations, they decided to put the first episode online as a flash game. The introductory episode takes you straight to court where you play as Housuke Odoroki, the new lawyer, on a virtual DS. Unfortunately the [...]
